A message from the First Nations Chiefs of Police Executive

As you are aware, Canada is under a health advisory because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) virus. The First Nations Chiefs of Police Association Executive will be following the recommendations and guidelines of public health officials. We are taking proactive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of our members and are postponing the FNCPA Conference & Awards to a later date. Thank you and take care.

The Executive has postponed the 12th Annual Officer Awards to a later date.

The First Nations Chiefs of Police Association (FNCPA) acknowledges each of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people and their families, friends, and communities.

At their Annual General Meeting in Toronto October 17-18, 2017 the First Nations Chiefs of Police Association (FNCPA) unanimously passed a resolution calling on the Government of Canada and its Provincial partners “to entrench First Nations Policing as an essential service,” provide adequate human resources, infrastructure, and operations and maintenance resources, and “sufficient, predictable and sustained funding that meets the unique needs of each department.”

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews announced that the Federal Government will maintain funding for policing agreements with First Nation and Inuit communities under the First Nations Policing Program (FNPP) for the next five years.
